Spring?

After all the snow I am wondering if spring is around the corner?
I made a little card with a spring feeling!
Made it for one of the Challenges on Moxie Fab World: " Make an Itty Bitty Card" Challenge.

Lavender and Raspberry Birthday Card

 

Today I made a birthday card in Lavender and Raspberry.
It is for the CR84FN 69 Color Challenge.

For the Raspberry color, I went from an Vivid inkpad with the name Raspberry. With that inkpad I stamped a dots stamp by Waltzing Mouse. Than cut flowers out of it with my Cricut. The tags are also cut from a piece of paper stamped with Raspberry and a stamp by Waltzing Mouse. The background stamp is a brocade stamp by Hero Arts. the circle tag is cut with Cricut and the Happy birthday stamp is by Hero Arts: AC001 Untitled Postmark. Finally the flourishes are by Bo Bunny.
Hope you like it!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all who live far away:


Merry Christmas to all who live nearby:



And here is the poem I insert in my Christmas cards:

"Wish for the world
A place where Christ can find a home
hearts that love each other.
Lives embraced by heaven's joy,
helping one another.
An end to terror, war and want,
forgiveness of the past.
Children safe from every harm...
and peace on earth at last!"

The reason for the season

Jesus is the reason for the season, thats for sure!
When there was no reason, we had no celebration isn't it?!


So, thats why I made this card. Used the masking technique to make the ornament. Than stamped the stable on it. Doing so, there's some celebration in this card and the one and only reason!
The stamps are Hero Arts.

Joy

I want to share another Christmas card. It was so fun and easy to make.




Used a Hero Arts stamp "Big Pine Bough" K5242 and a Maya Road stamp set with stars : SMP2232 "My Star Singleton Stamp".
On the left side some washi tape. A Hero Arts sentiment. And some little silver bows.
